Fantastic
With only 3 chalets you feel like the staff is there just for you. My 18 and 21 year old
probably did not appreciate how amazing it was to have personal attention
like we received at Thunzi. The chalet ,the setting, the pool and the food was
the best on our trip.

Thunzi Bush Lodge was wonderful. Great setting and very relaxing. The pool area is fantastic. Lovely to have meals cooked for you in the evening. Could have done with a bit more guidance when we first arrived..... also needs airconditioning

It brought the family back to basics, not having a TV. We did things we would not normally do at home. The food was loved by the whole family and we left being very proud of being South Africans in such a fantastic area. The rooms were superb and upmarket. Staff was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thanks a million.
